Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Frontenac—Mégantic for his question.
He is right in his comment about Toronto's homeless. But I made a distinction between those who are ill and those who are homeless.
I want to be very clear that I did not say all of those people who are homeless in motels. I said those people who are living and sleeping in sleeping blankets on the street. There is a dramatic difference and I want the record to show it.
I also want to say to the member that his comments are constructive. I think he is right on the money. If there is one thing I have learned to appreciate about members of the Bloc Quebecois is that they are very sensitive to issues that tend to be for those who do not have a voice.
I obviously totally disagree with the hon. member's views on trying to divide the country, but we all know that issue is coming to an end. Separatism is almost dead. But I totally respect his views on speaking out for those who do not have a voice and I will continue to fight within our team to make sure we are more sensitive.
